WSU Researchers Explore Best Ways to Help Native American Students
Accepting a challenge from the state’s lawmakers, four Washington State University researchers will report on the best ways to help Native American students succeed. “Addressing the Educational Achievement Gap of Native American Students in Washington State” will emphasize potential achievement rather than the long-standing gap between the accomplishments of those students and their non-native peers, said Associate Professor Michael Pavel.
“Indian education dates back to a time when all children were considered gifted and talented,” said Pavel, who leads the research team. “That is our vision for Indian education today.”
